6 years agoWashington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson has rushed for just 171 yards combined in his last four games after totaling 345 such yards in the previous three. Not surprisingly, the Redskins have lost three of their last four contests with the focal point of their offense having been held in check. Monday night presents Peterson with the opportunity to end his slide, as the Eagles have allowed at least 126 rushing yards in each of their last three games, while also permitting a total of four rushing touchdowns in that time frame. The Redskins need to end a skid of their own if they want to keep up with Dallas in the division race, so look for them to exploit Philly's weakness on the ground with a heavy dose of hand-offs to Peterson.--Chris O'Reilly
